Question 1 of 5

A patient has been taking donepezil for 2 weeks as part of the treatment for early stages of Alzheimer's disease. Her daughter calls the prescriber's office and is upset because 'Mother has not improved one bit!' Which response by the nurse is appropriate?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D. Donepezil is a medication used to manage symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, but it takes time to see improvement. The typical timeframe for noticeable effects is around 4-6 weeks. Increasing the dosage or taking it on an empty stomach won't speed up the process or guarantee improvement.
Choice A could lead to adverse effects, and B is not relevant.
Choice C is incorrect as there is no cure for Alzheimer's disease.
Therefore, the most appropriate response is to educate the daughter that it may take up to 6 weeks to see an improvement.
